• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also contribute to this important Report from the Public Accounts Committee. First of all, I thank the Chairman, Vice-Chair and Members of the Committee for having done a wonderful job. You have pushed the image of this House to another level in terms of handling reports. They have done a good job having handled the accounts for the Financial Year 2016/2017 and focused on the Financial Year 2017/2018. I congratulate them because the Report is very comprehensive as it touches one very sector. The only issue I want ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: It is not the responsibility of the President of the Republic of Kenya to manage the public debt. It is the responsibility of the experts that the President has employed, starting from the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the national Treasury, the Principal Secretary in charge of the National Treasury and the line officers to manage the debt. If we stand here and complain that President Uhuru’s Government has done this-or-that, it is them to advice the President. As a Member of Parliament for Lugari Constituency, I do not advice the National Government Constituencies Development Fund Lugari. They draft project ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: On the same note, my party leader advised the experts at the national Treasury, that if they really want to effectively manage public debt, they should create a Public Debt Management Authority. Why should we have the Kenya Sisal Board, National Employment Authority and the Kenya Urban Roads Authority, when an important parastatal, the Public Debt Management authority, is not in existence in this country? How are we going to manage our public resources? If we put it under a department under the Cabinet Secretary in charge of national Treasury, we will be doing zero work. There is no efficiency. ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: cleared several pending bills, as the Committee has explained, but there is no money to pay the pending bills. A stable economy depends on the Government. You cannot tell me as a businessman that you can depend on the private sector to grow an economy. A stable economy is grown by the Government because the Government is the biggest spender. So, if the Government as a big spender is not paying suppliers, which economy will thrive? We should not blame the leadership. President Uhuru is a politician. The experts are at the national Treasury. Let us have responsible people at ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: The Cabinet Secretary in charge of national Treasury is a very important person. The Principal Secretary at the national Treasury is in charge of appointing accounting officers of all other ministries. Let us have a substantive Cabinet Secretary at the National Treasury; let us not have an acting Cabinet Secretary. If you have a problem, how will he sort it out? He is merely acting. He has no total responsibility. Let us have a substantive Cabinet Secretary at the National Treasury. The Cabinet Secretary also messed recently. How Parliament appropriate money to Judiciary then a Cabinet Secretary comes overnight to ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Constituency launching Lugari Technical Training Institute (TTI) then five years later, Lugari TTI is not there, and Savula has remained with a problem. He utilises NG-CDF money to construct a TTI. We are asking that we deal with all stalled projects and the Government should give priority to that. Because of time, I beg to support this Report. Thank you. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me opportunity to also comment on the Gaming Bill. I know much has been said. I want to start by saying that I welcome the Bill. It establishes systems and functions that will enable the gaming industry to be regulated effectively. The gaming industry has been run haphazardly because of lack of regulation mechanisms. The gaming industry has also had problems with institutions like the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) because of lack of clear regulations. We have an Act on how KRA should collect taxes on such gaming activities, but we do not ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: bringing sanity in that sector. Today, there is a certain scale of salary you would pay a matatu driver or a conductor. This is what we want. The gaming industry will create employment for the unemployed youth in this sector. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am so happy today because I am part of the delegation that has received the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Report, which is talking about youth employment. This is what we should be creating for this country. We should create laws to assist the youth in this country. view
